We had not been out walking since the middle of November so last week on a cold but sunny afternoon I thought Gossy Park might be sheltered and warm. Wrong - it was freezing.
We only walked up the east side of the reserve and saw a couple of Nuthatches before we turned tail for home.

About me

The wrong side of pension age, I reawakened my earlier interests in bird and widlife watching, with a holiday on The Isle of Mull during summer 2008. Bought a scope to watch eagles and otters and we were not disappointed. So when we got home I started to cover some local haunts and thought it may be worthwhile to put some time in and around the The City of Newcastle and the River Tyne.I also paint pictures, most having some link to football and a selection can be seen at www.fansoffootball.net
